Welcome to SRP! Looks like you scored. The big W&B for barber's use is a sought after razor and brings a good buck on ebay. The other one if there is no damage would be a good shaver once honed up ...... they both would.

If you want to get into the shaving here is the SRP Wiki with many tutorials to point you in the right direction.

the other one i do not think it has been used it is some sharp been in the box thank you for the info

Yeah- that WB is awesome. Looks to be in decent condition too. A little quick restore work would up the value considerably. You might try polishing both of them up and see how much of the gunk you can get off. In current condition, you'd probably get $15-35 depending on the mood of the market and how good your pics are. With a little sanding and polishing, you might get that to double or tripple. A full restore and you could get over $100.

Are the blade edges in good condition? Any small nicks or rust near the edge? Quick test is to run the edge across your thumb nail. Ideally you want a smooth pull with a little bit of grab. Any stops and the edge will require a bit of extra work, but judging from the pics you should be fine.

Good find!
